'else' expressions are not allowed on a global space

New comment
 

I keep getting this error along with '}' expressions are not allowed on a global space as well.

I wrote a function in an include file and am trying to call it from main OnStart program. The function worked just fine before putting it into the include file so I can't understand what the issue is. This is the function. 

void GetDate();
{
   MqlDateTime dt;
   TimeCurrent(dt);

  if(dt.day_of_week == 0)
   {
     Alert("It is Sunday");   
   }  
  else if (dt.day_of_week ==1)
   {
     Alert("It is Monday");
   }
  else
   {
      Alert("Blah");
   }   
}

This is my main program

void OnStart()
{
  GetDate();
      
}

Please help
